Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for February 26, 2021

And the day after that, a new teacher, one who used to be a drill sergeant in the Army.

A NEA member no doubt.

Well, that’s one way to keep him from sleeping in class (https://www.gocomics.com/broomhilda/2021/02/20?ct=v&cti=2208697)!

Have Broomie call my wife, she’s taught middle school for over 20 years and is 6’ tall. Thirty to one odds are NOTHIN’

Finally!

Went to a one-room school. There were about a dozen kids, grades one through eight. Not lots of kids, but still pretty challenging for a teacher. Sometimes us students tried to help. As a second grader, I remember trying to coach an older kid who was having trouble with fractions. "Invert and multiply, Larry! ", my classmate and I would whisper, “but why? why?” he would whisper back. New math students could probably answer that one right away.

That curriculum sounds better than a lot things they are teaching in schools today.

Good argument for smaller class size.

Time to transfer Nerwin’s class to a nice, new re-education camp for little pre-terrorists….

Must be near the end of the school year. Ours have Board Game Day, Movie Day, Pajama Day. Yet if we get one more snow day, we’ll have to add days to the calendar!
